对53名年龄在13岁至65岁以上的男性和女性非裔美国人进行了10次焦点小组访谈，以评估对运动的看法和信念。许多与会者表示，非洲裔美国人在工作中从事体力劳动，需要休息，而不是在下班时间锻炼。另一个常见的评论是，白人认为锻炼比非洲裔美国人更有益于健康。朋友被认为比家庭或文化背景对锻炼习惯有更大的影响。
Ten focus group interviews were held with 53 male and female African-Americans aged 13 years to older than 65 years to assess perceptions and beliefs toward exercise. Many participants expressed the opinion that African-Americans performed physical labor in their jobs and needed to rest rather than exercise during their off-work time. Another frequent comment was the belief that whites perceived exercise as a health benefit more often than African-Americans. Friends were believed to have a greater influence on exercise habits than family or cultural background.
